Tutorial 3: About Clovis folders and licences

In order to send information using Clovis, you need a sender licence. Sender licences are issued by Steelhead Systems. Please contact us if you want to purchase sender licences.

All you need to receive unencrypted Clovis e-mails is an installed and registered copy of Clovis. However, to receive encrypted Clovis e-mails, you need a reader certificate for your particular sender for the particular folder they are sending data in.

Examples:

1. Bob wants to send unencrypted Clovis data to Alice, in a folder called ‘News update’. They both download, install and register Clovis. Bob needs to get a sender licence for the News update folder.

2. Bob wants to send encrypted Clovis data to Alice, in a folder called ‘News update’. They both download, install and register Clovis. Bob needs to get a sender licence for the News update folder. Alice needs to get a reader certificate for receiving data from Bob in the News update folder.

3. Bob wants to send encrypted Clovis data to Alice, in a folder named ‘News update’. Eve also wants to send encrypted data to Alice, in the same folder. All three of them will need to install Clovis. Bob and Eve each need to get a sender licence for the News update folder. Alice needs to get two reader certificates: one for receiving data from Bob in the News update folder, and one for receiving data from Eve in the News update folder.
